Temple Run for Android Updated, Fixes Crash Issues and Adds Support for the DROID RAZR and Bionic

The newest smash hit game on Android named Temple Run, has finally received an update to fix some major issues that have plagued it since release. There was one nasty bug that made the app freeze up and close whenever you went to restart the game, which was quiet annoying. On an even better note, they have also added support for the DROID Bionic and DROID RAZR devices.

this update seems to now work with some snapdragon processors like htc rezound because before the update the game didnt show up at all meaning it was not compatible.. so i checked on the pc at play store and it was not compatible but todays update it now works and its fun!

HELP! This game gets addicting

No more crashes! It may just be me, but the game feels a bit smoother too.

Finally? Tim, surely you could do a bit of a better job of framing than that…the application JUST came out earlier this week!

I would say finally. This game has multi-million users, it felt like a alpha build with some obvious 0day bugs that should have been fixed ASAP.

updated it on my gnexus, and I already see MAJOR speed improvements… it used to lag gout on me every once in a while, but works flawlessly now 🙂 thanks imangi!

Typical, why does Google Play get the good games so much later than Apple’s App store? Why should I upgrade to another Android in May when my Fascinate (replaced twice) has been buggy and force closes all the time. Everyone I know who has an Android phone has similar issues. Apps force closing, having to take the battery out everyday, etc. If I buy a Nexus or say, a Galaxy SIII, will that continue? Plus we’re stuck on Gingerbread, and no I’m not rooting.

I’m personally in strong support of buying Nexus devices, but the GSIII will probably be quite an amazing phone. Software is the most important thing to me, and I like my ICS pure! I love my GNex.

Sounds like you’ve already made up your mind. Just switch to an iPhone and be done with it. I personally love Android and do not like iOS, but it sounds like you are the other way around, so dump Android and go with what you like.

There’s actually a lot of things I like about Android. I like apps like FoxFi, which allows me to use my 3G as a hotspot for free. If I get a 4G phone, it will have crazy fast speeds. iPhone will never have that. Just tired of Google getting apps so late and that iOS has so much more support.

I see you don’t want to root. Thats understandable, but fact is, if you root/custom rom your phone you literally won’t have the issues you mentioned, besides the obvious fact that Android does in fact often get apps later and 2nd class versions at that.

That said, even after the update I think Temple Run still sucks quite a bit compared to the iOS version, I’ve played them side by side on a Gnexus and an iPod Touch and I can easily score 5million+ on the touch but can’t top 2mil on the Android edition just because its laggy and difficult to control compared to the iOS edition. I think the graphics are lower-res too, whole screen looks blurry compared to the sharpness of the iPod touch (4th gen). I know I have a 720p display on the Nexus but it doesn’t look like it. Perhaps they just copied the graphics to Android without a proper attempt at resizing them.

A couple of things to remember:
1. Not many smartphone users play games on their phones. They get boring quickly.
2. Even though Apple gets SOME good games faster than Android, their variety of apps is not as good as Android’s because Android allows all types of apps.
3. Force closing occurs because of three reasons:
– No ram left
– Bad update ( due to manufacturer )
– App’s fault.

Buying a Nexus will decrease the amount of lag and reboots dramatically. I don’t own one, but it’s common sense. Since the device is supported by Google, Google would work out an update to fix the bug right away, which is why Nexus devices are awesome.

In conclusion, get a Nexus and test it for a week or two. You will certainly be impressed. If Jelly Bean comes out, you won’t be stuck on ICS, you will have Jelly Bean two weeks after it comes out.
And of course, there are LOTS of roms for the nexus to customize your phone in any way you want.
